Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 65: It’s Been Three Years, Can’t You Let It Go? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Gabriel left, she returned to her seat. The smile on her face slowly faded and she no longer had the feminine posture from before. All her pretense was removed at this moment.

As she looked at the table full of dishes, she picked up her utensils again. She wouldn't lose her taste just because someone had left so she continued eating, slowly, by herself.

Once she was done, she called the waiter to pay the bill. The waiter came in and politely said, “Miss, President Jones told me to put it on his tab before he left.”

She nodded, wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, picked up her bag, and left the private room. As she passed by the room Julian Hall was in, she happened to see Faye helping Calvin Gilbert out.

Calvin's face was covered in bruises. The buttons on the dark purple vest he was wearing over his purple shirt had been ripped off.

Serenity looked past them and noticed Julian Hall was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the tables and chairs were strewn all over the floor. It looked like it had been quite an exciting fight.

She looked at Calvin's proud face and clicked her tongue gloatingly. “I'm afraid you won't be able to face anyone for the next few days.”

Calvin just had a fight with his partner and his mouth was now bruised and bloody. He was in a sorry state. When he heard Serenity tease him, he wished he could find a hole to hide in.

He touched the corner of his mouth that was numb from the pain and said, “He’s not going anywhere either.”

Serenity gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile, “Based on your behaviors today, the Gilbert family and the Hall family now have a feud. Which also means that you're going to get another beating when you're home.”

That was when the gravity of his actions finally dawned on Calvin. Zander Hall was about to be promoted to Vice Governor. News of this had just been announced yesterday. And now, Calvin had beaten up the upcoming Vice Governor’s son.

If his father knew, Calvin was in for a tough lesson tonight. His father might even send him to the army to manage his temper. At this time, Faye, who had been silent all this time, said, “Calvin, since your friend is here, I'll take my leave first.”

Serenity took another look at Faye. The latter’s sad and empty eyes were still red from crying and her face was abnormally pale. “4 don’t have time to send him to the hospital.” She winked at Calvin before looking at the two people teasingly.

Calvin glared at her with a bruised face and discreetly waved his fist while using his eyes to warn her.

But Serenity simply sneered and looked at Faye. “Miss Faye, please send him to the hospital. 1 have something to do and will be leaving first. Goodbye.”

After she walked away, Calvin suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh. “1 have the information that John Grant wants in my car. Can you pass it to the Grant family?”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He had come to deliver the documents to John Grant but received a call from Manager Loeb halfway instead. He had brought Faye here for a meal before so Manager Loeb was able to recognize her and was afraid that something would happen.

When Calvin heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly rushed over. Now that he was in such a sorry state, he would rather die than meet the Grant family like this, lest he be seen as a joke by others.

Serenity’s footsteps paused slightly. But then, she remained silent as she resumed walking away. The smooth floor echoed with the crisp sound of her heels.

“Hey! Serenity Rivers!” Calvin shouted after her in exasperation. When he did so, he hurt the wound on the corner of his mouth. It hurt so much that he grimaced in pain.

Serenity continued walking forward slowly without forgetting to say, “You should know that 1 don’t want to go to the Grant family nor do 1 want to see him.”

Calvin stared at her back and said calmly, “It’s been three years. You still can’t let it go?”

Her body suddenly stiffened and she stopped in her tracks. She looked at the long corridor in front of her and a dull pain rose in her heart.

Calvin’s words had exposed the deepest part of her heart. She was caught off guard as she thought of that person’s name and the bits and pieces of her past..
